DD is in grade 5 and is due to start secondary school in 2015 (how the hell did that happen?!)

Enrolment preferences for public schools need to be in by mid-May next year. The private schools are earlier.

We have a few schools in mind but are still investigating. I know it's a stretch given most on this site have younger children, but i was wondering if there is anyone out there with some feedback about secondary schools in this area - both public and private - both good and bad.

I feel like this is such a huge decision and I don't want to get it wrong.

Many thanks in advance
